I could see the crowd potentially turning on Goldberg if he wins and it isn't done in a creative way.

haitch says that no one will be able to predict the ending

[numbers]

I hope he's right. I do think the possible winners list is pretty short though. Taker, Goldberg, Strowman, and maybe Jericho. We will have a much better idea once we see who wins the title matches.

[numbers]

I guess I would throw Orton or Wyatt and as a long shot Cena or Reigns jumping into it after losing as possibilities as well.

[Mecca]

Samoa Joe?

[numbers]

Def think he'll be in it, don't think he'll win it.

[numbers]

From what I've read, 22 spots have been confirmed so there's 8 open spots left in the Rumble.

Here's my guesses on the 8

Kane- Kane is like the king of the Rumble, doubt he's left off it.
Ellsworth- Probably to take an F-5 or Spear within seconds.
Joe- The way he's been kept off NXT since dropping the tile makes it so I'd be shocked if he isn't in this match.
Apollo Crews- Since it looks like he will feud with Ziggler and Ziggler is in the match.
Tyler Bate and Pete Dunne- These guys were both awesome in the UK tourney and I'd be kind of surprised if at least Bate isn't in it.
DDP- There's going to be at least one of these types, Page is going into the HOF I think so I'll pick him.
Angle- I know Angle is saying he's not in it, but we'll see.

Balor is a definite possibility depending on his injury status, and Kenny Omega is trying to stir the pot about him being in it but I'm not buying that.

[i got bugs]

Balor will probably win it

Either that or the loser of Cena styles

[i got bugs]

I think ellsworth will Def be in, hoping for nakamura

[i got bugs]

Dark horse to win.. the miz

[Mecca]

Ric Flair will win it and go on to get #17

How does Rollins get involved tonight? I get that they're setting up him and Hunter, but how do you not have him involved tonight?

He called out H at the NXT show last night, I could see him maybe helping Reigns tonight.

[BurtReynolds]

Roman Reigns last?! haha

[daft twat]

Taker vs. Roman in Wrestlemania? Why? Taker's last match should have been with Shane. He looked to be in terrible shape, which is disappointing when you see Goldberg and even Slim Show.

Loved the Cena/AJ match. Really don't want to see Cena vs. Orton, though.

I am amazed that Lesnar has agreed to his storyline thus far vs. Goldberg.

Final thought: Women like Nia Jax shouldn't be a part of wrestling. She dismantled the Boss, who is a recent, what, 3 time champ?

[ABNorman]

Man, Undertaker needs to call it a day.

I thought the undercard was good, but the Rumble itself was pretty dull after the first 10 minutes or so.

[numbers]

Unless Reigns is turning heel, I don't see how they could possibly think Reigns-Taker is a good idea.

[AndySlash]

i thought it was a good show with a lot of positives. all of the non-rumble matches were very good, and the rumble itself was one of the more entertaining of the past several years. it took a downturn about the time lesnar came in, which was disappointing given the names involved from that point on. those last fifteen minutes or so weren't very much fun, and regins at 30 was certainly a fart. but the match never even came close to reaching the lows achieved by the past few rumble matches. so yeah, the ending wasn't what i'd have hoped for, but overall i think it was a strong show anchored by two great heavyweight title matches. what i've seen of the mania rumors and how they'll get there, for me i have to think this ppv will actually be the pinnacle of the next few months. hope i am wrong.

i thought the takeover show on saturday night was real good, too.

[Joesanity]

Reigns at 30 is good if you want to get heel heat on him and build to a heel turn at Wrestlemania with the Undertaker.

Wyatt has to win the Elimination Chamber right? No way they do Cena-Orton again. Although the way Smackdown has been written lately, I have some faith that they could find a way to make a match between those two seem fresh again.

Thought it was a good show all around. The hatred Graves has for Enzo warms my heart.
